GBAtemp's acekard 2 Review

[Whiternoise]

Ten quid from dealextreme

(inc delivery of course!)

I would highly recommend the acekard, my R4 got lost and i bought one of these as a replacement. For the price, it's extremely reasonable and it's got all the stuff that more expensive cards don't

At this price point, it'd be silly to buy an RPG for the built in memory when flash memory is falling in price like a stone. When i got my R4, 2GB would cost about 25 - now that's the same price for an 8GB

One of the things I like about CycloDS is how you can hide folders and files without an NDS extension. My kids are young and I don't want them confused by menus or options they don't need, or that could mess up their configuration. Would anybody disagree that CycloDS is the best option for my scenario?

You can do this with Acekard 2 as well.

Been using the ace 2 now for about a week And guys and gals it's the one to buy, instantly saves no issues as yet that i have come across and runs every thing i throw at it, even a few emulators, been playing a blast from the past again, Paperboy 2 hell yeah lol. Also compat whit slot 2 solutions as well, And skinable if ya want to mess about with that kinda stuff, good for all you home brewers out there

But seriously you can speed the gui loading up by dropping to list form but tbh you can hardly notice, And not really noticed any lag on vids or the games as such,

1 piece of advice though update your card to the latest software before saving any thing as they wont work after the update and you'll need to start your game all over, But this is more common sense than a con.

Last few words before i go and leave you all to it, If your thinking about buying this card do it, if not why not,

Acekard team great card keep up the good work, you guys rock and cyclo jog on

I bought 2 acekard few weeks ago (first one and after 2 days the second one).

I am very impressed how easy to use they are. Plus with the Micro SD price going down I hope to get a 8GB or more for Christmas.

For the moment I manage to put around 85 games (leaving 100 MB for the saved games file) on a 4GB SD micro (SDHC) card. I have also install Moonshel for playing video and MP3, and it works great.

I have try something like 200 DS games and none have lag. (3 or 4 games don't work but I don't think it is the card but more the way the games were ripped). I possess around 20 original games and have try the same on the Acekard: NO differences!

The kids are also playing in wireless multiplayer mode (Between 2 DS - I play scrable with may wife,Chess with my father in law, 4 in a row or battleship with the kids) and also interacting with the Wii (Pokemon games played on TV screen) and it work like the original games would.

I would definitly recommend the Acecard 2. (For 38,00Euro per piece + 18,00Euro per 4GB SD Micro card it's really a bargain - I know you can find it cheaper but where I leave I didn't have to much choice).

Hope these few comments help.

Best regards

Helldiver

PS: Do follow the instruction exactly as said in the manual. I have try first my way and it didn't work! My wife went to read the few line of the Acekard manual and .... she made it! (shame on me) :-)

With the latest firmware (4.09), does it have native support for AR codes in the .dat or .xml format? It says so in the changelog… but flashcard manufacturers have a habit of overselling themselves.

Sorry if this question has been asked a billion times already, but a lot of people are saying the AK2 has a very high failure rate. Is this true?

1. Download winrar
2. install it
3. right click the acekard folder
4. click extract here
5. copy all of the contents that went to the place you extracted to onto the acekard.

got my acekard a few weeks ago...it's amazing! i love this little device now!

I think the Acekard 2 is definitely the best...
Its inexpensive (I picked it up for $68 AUD)
Its simple, useful and great if you are having trouble with money (especially with the finacial market)
I like it you open it up on the Computer dwnload you games onto it and off you go...

[jjgp08]

which memory card is recommended for the AceKard?? Is it essential to use class 4 and 6 only?

I use SanDisk, has anyone had problem with using SanDisk and AceKard??

Comments Please??

I know this is a very old review, but there's anybody with both AK 2 (the original) still alive and 2.1 that can make a test of comparison of battery consumption between original cart, AK2 and AK 2.1? Thanks in advance.

 

[Surexius]

Is there much difference between the Acekard2 and Acekard2i, for a DSL user I mean. Would I be better to get the Acekard2 or pay the extra and get an Acekard2i?

 

[Advi]

I just bought my Acekard 2 on DealWoot.

Not only am I making a great upgrade, but I can give my M3 to my brother. He'll be so happy

And it'd better be worth the $30 or I'll be pissed like a mother cunt fucker
